Faith No More: Artists Of The Year
Frank Owen, Spin, December 1990
WHETHER HE'S advising Sassy readers to take drugs, kill babies, and steal everything, or wearing a shirt with multiple images of Jesus Christ jacking off for the SPIN cover shoot, or informing the audience at a Copenhagen rock festival that at that precise moment Lenny Kravitz ("the Jesus of hippies") is fucking Sinead O'Connor ("the Virgin Mary") in the hospitality tent, Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton sure knows how to eke out an irreverent good time amid the grueling drudgery of life on the road.
